Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This oak cupboard and bookcase belongs to the 1930 Mid-Century Modern period. The piece exhibits a warm brown colour with a visible grain across its veneered surfaces. The upper section comprises sliding glass doors enclosing adjustable timber shelves behind a glazed front, while the lower cabinet contains solid wooden sliding doors fitted with small recessed rectangular metal handles. The entire structure is raised on short tapered legs. Measuring 207 cm high, 153 cm wide, and 40 cm deep, the furniture piece suits placement in a living room, study, or hallway for organised storage and display of books or decorative objects. The clean lines and dual-compartment design provide a practical storage solution that complements contemporary or vintage interior schemes within a home today.

FAQs

Mid-century modern glazed bookcases, popularised during the 1950s and 1960s, feature clean geometric lines, functional sliding glass doors, and integrated timber storage. They reflect a shift towards minimalist, space-saving domestic furniture after the Second World War.

These bookcases typically utilise solid oak, teak, or walnut frames combined with matching veneers over timber cores. Construction details often include sliding glass panes, recessed door handles, and solid timber legs or bases.

Authentic mid-century pieces generally display smooth sliding door tracks, simple recessed handle pulls, and tapered solid wood feet. Look for maker stamps or badges, consistent veneer application, and era-appropriate joinery such as dovetail corners or screwed backing panels.

Place the bookcase against a neutral wall to allow the grain pattern to stand out, using the upper display shelves for ceramics, books, or glassware. The enclosed lower section provides hidden storage to maintain an uncluttered visual aesthetic in living rooms or home offices.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally along the grain. Glass panes should be cleaned with a mild glass cleaner applied to a microfiber cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the surrounding wood.
